60. RECOGNITON FOR RECEIPT OF A NATIONAL AWARD Recognize Social Worker, Adrienne Decker-Delgado for the receipt of a national award. Ms. Decker-Delgado was selected by the National Association of Social Workers to receive the National Social Worker of the Year Award 2013. (The award was presented in June, 2014). This award honors a member of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) who exemplifies the best of the profession’s values and achievements through specific accomplishments. Adrienne received this award for her work in creating Find Help Phoenix (www.FindHelpPhx.org and www.EncuentraAyudaPhx.org ). • The concept behind FindHelpPhx.org is to deliver an easy to navigate site where people can find free and almost free community resources with two clicks. • Masters students from ASU are recruited to assist in updating the resource list and meeting with partners to introduce the site. • The website was developed with little budget and her husband generously volunteering his time after years of Decker-Delgado collecting resource information and trying to deliver it to clients in hard copy. • Today, grants have assisted the site to expand to include resources across Maricopa County, be mobile friendly and deliver the information in Spanish and English. • Due to Adrienne’s vision and recognition of community needs, residents are now able to more easily link with existing resources and find the assistance they need to lead a healthier life.
